some of my favs from my 2nd hand retail days:
"Do you have delivery?" "Yes, here's the form" "...OH it costs???"
(yes, the little local 2nd hand non profit does not have money to do free furniture deliveries?)
*1/3 of customers come up to checkout after shopping* "OH is there a sale today??"
(me, looks at giant whiteboard in front of the literal door and the like 12 signs hung up on the shelves, sign on door, several speaker announcements...)
"You're charging this much for this furniture? Y'all should be giving this stuff away for free! It's a nonprofit right? I thought your mission was loving people..."
(me just is sad and smh....)
"This doesn't have a price on it" "oh sorry" *takes item to get priced and brings it back* "did i ask you to do that? this is the problem with this country" *storms out of store*
(i--i-- i'm sorry??)
and yes, the "you don't have this? why not?" question too...Â
(um donation based?? we don't stock things?)
man why did they even call you then?? I'd want to say when people complained about our stuff or prices (of course i didnt say it out loud) "um you don't have to shop here? if xyz store is better, go there??"


Customers r a different breed I cant
